Meet Fantasy/Paranormal Romance Author, Margay Leah Justice!

Margay Leah Justice

Fantasy/Paranormal Romance

Margay currently lives in Massachusetts with her two daughters, two
cats, and a myriad of characters who vie for her attention and demand
that their own stories be told. In her spare time, she is an avid
knitter, knitting her way through a stash of yarn that almost rivals her
tbr pile!

Deanna: Tell us a bit about yourself that our readers might not know.

Margay: I am a mad crafter – I
love to knit! I guess creating things is just in my blood, whether it’s something
to wear or something to read.

Deanna: For an evening out, would
it be dinner or a movie? What would the dinner be? What might the movie be?

Margay: I love both, but if I had
to pick one, I’d go for a movie – something romantic, of course!

Deanna: Do you prefer wine,
whiskey, scotch, or ice tea?

Margay: Iced tea – I’m not a
drinker.

Deanna: What do you do to relax when you aren’t writing?

Margay: Read and knit.

Deanna: Do you have to split your
writing time between a day job?

Margay: Thankfully, no.

Deanna: As authors, we’ve sometimes been accused of being several
people. How many personalities live in your mind?

Margay: I lost count!

Deanna: How many plots do you include in one of your books?

Margay: I don’t think there’s ever
a set number – but usually more than one.

Deanna: Readers love to know how
writers spend their day. Tell us about a typical day in your life as a writer.

Margay: Well, I go through my
email in the morning to get it out of the way, then I might do some researching
for the next book, and then I write – with some knitting interspersed
throughout. I also work on patterns that I’m designing for doll clothes.

Margay: I think there are
definitely differences in each, but a common thread would be family.

Deanna: What are the physical
characteristics that you admire in a man?

Margay: Loyalty, kindness, and
understanding, to name a few.

Deanna: Tell us about your latest
book and the type of reader if may appeal to.

Margay: My latest book, Sloane
Wolf, is a paranormal romance about a shape shifter and an empath and what
happens when they cross paths. Micah, the shape shifter, is bound by a legend
that has surrounded his family for centuries and as such, he will do anything
to keep their existence a secret. Shiloh, the empath, is a pawn for a
mysterious organization that’s known as the Institute and will do anything to
escape them – for good. When they meet, their worlds and their secrets collide
and create all kinds of friction. Anyone who likes wolves, romance, and
intrigue will like this book.

Blurb:
For more than a hundred and fifty years, the gray wolf has failed to
roam the hills of Massachusetts, leading to the belief that they are
extinct. But with a spattering of sightings across the Berkshires, the
legend of the gray wolf comes to fruition. The product of that legend,
Micah Sloane will go to great lengths to protect his kind from the
threat of outsiders, who seek to exploit the legend for their own
interests. One thing he didn’t count on, however, was finding his soul
mate in the company of such men.
From the first time she predicted a stranger’s imminent death when she
was little more than a child, Shiloh Beck knew she was different.
Wishing to cultivate her gift, her parents made the fateful decision to
enroll her in a private school for paranormally gifted children.
Unbeknownst to them, the school was just a front for a research facility
simply called the Institute, whose secret board members weaned gifted
children from their families to exploit their gifts. Shiloh has spent
the better part of her life trying to escape the Institute and reunite
with the family she was told had abandoned her.
From their first meeting, Micah and Shiloh share a connection that goes
beyond the normal to bond them in a way that love alone cannot. But
before they can build a life together, they must deal with the fall-out
when the legend of the wolves collides with the men behind the
Institute.
